PLEASE HELP Explain the purpose of the Parados and summarize the text. In addition, infer how the Parados reveals tone and evokes mood. Finally, analyze how the text reveals the beliefs of the ancient Greek people.

The parados serves an important purpose in a Greek tragedy -- it provides background information, commentary, and analysis to help frame the rest of the play. If one were to miss the parados, one would likely miss what is most important about the play.As in every ancient Greek tragedy, the first time we hear the Chorus is when they sing their parados or entry song. Parados looks a little bit like the modern word "parade," right? This is probably no accident. When the Chorus performed the parados they would "parade" in, singing and dancing with a bunch of fanfare. The actual word "parados" comes from the name of the corridor or archway through which the Chorus first entered. In Antigone, Sophocles uses the parados to give back-story. The Chorus sings all about the terrible battle that has just been fought. We also get the sense that the people of Thebes are furious at Polyneices for betraying and attacking them. This helps to strengthen Creon's position about the traitor's burial. Overall, the parados in Antigone is a joyful celebration of victory. This is, of course, super-ironic. The audience has just watched the prologue, in which Antigone declares her intentions to defy the state. Though Thebes has just defeated an external enemy, the new order represented by Creon will be challenged almost immediately by an enemy from within
